Re: 4/12 Results Show Discussion *Spoilers*

I hate when they cut the eliminations down to the wire. SR was a joy. He put his heart and soul into it. He and Anna were a lovely duo, and they went out on a high note. I hope we see Anna return for pro dances, and that she's back next season.

I wonder if he is having flash backs from Pia being elmininated from AI.

He has been very vocal about that. Of course the tabloids have them seeing each other which means they are probably just friends.

Mark was probably just annoyed that the producers made him a plant after his risk taking (aka showboating) choreography last night that rubbed Len the wrong way but still earned them the top spot. Hopefully they quit whining about that, though I'm sure being in the fake bottom 2 will give them something new to complain about. So either Mark steps up his own thing and gives the finger to tradition, or goes back to being safe and traditional. He did look a tad nervous when it came time for the results to be read. I can only imagine his reaction if they had been eliminated. He's not doing Chelsea any favors. Of course, this will probably bring their fan base coming in swinging next week. Maybe she didn't do so hot in the fan vote this week and they wanted to scare them into voting Though it was becoming a drinking game every time Tom had to mention they were the highest scoring couple and in jeopardy. I don't think he's ever done that for other couples.

Next week with Kendra should be interesting. She has the foxtrot, another elegant dance (though I don't get the deal with repeating dances already). I think Louis will have a talking to with her and hopefully she gets her head in it.

Really mad about the results. I absolutely knew SR was going home due to it being partially a popularity contest and he just doesn't bring in the demographics needed- but it's still so frustrating to watch someone who so obviously wanted to grow and learn have to leave early. He deserved to stay because of how much he was willing to work, how open he was to learning from the pros and because he was respectful of the process and showed such class and joy. He wasn't the best but I'm sure we would have seem improvement. Such class and heart. A person who earned the right to be called a star because of his accomplishments yet remains humble and gracious and open to learning new things, things way outside his comfort zone from people who are willing to teach him. He humbled himself and saw himself as a student. Wise, wise man.
I'm going to miss him so much for all those reasons. (And yes I voted like crazy for him last night).
